Tacos La Chilanguita VIP is a taco truck located on N Capitol Avenue just shy of the Capitol Square…read moreShopping Center. They sell authetic Mexican food--nacho plates, alambres, and quesadillas, to name a few. I've been here before plenty of times, but I decided to write up on it in passing. On separate days, I got myself 3 Carne Asada tacos ($2.50 each, $7.50 total) and 3 Quesabirria tacos ($3.66 each, $11 total). On average, the Carne Asada tacos took me 4 minutes, and the Quesabirria tacos took me 10 minutes. Let's start with the Carne Asada tacos. Honest to God, these tacos had me dancing in the driver's seat! I parked by the shopping center, hands and stomach ready. The pleasant smell of seasoned meat hits you immediately. Removing the foil from the plate, I see in front of me three delicious tacos with asada, chopped onions, and cilantros, alongside a couple of radishes, pickled red onions, lime slices, salsa verde, and salsa roja. It would be remiss of me to not tell you how they taste just as good as they look. Tender meat and flavorful ingredients make for a great night, and the salsa are a nice complement if you can handle the heat. Until my most recent visit, I was not aware they had sold quesabirria tacos. I don't think I have to re-examine why these are so ubiquitous with the food trends of late; you should already know how amazing they are! The quesabirria tacos here are no different from the ones that I enjoy--they are cheesy, they are meaty , and with the consomé side, they are messy. I must've spent a bit longer than usual finding a parking slot because the heat did end up sogging the tacos so they weren't crunchy, but they're still fresh and hot to the fingers. A must-get! The private parking lot in this area is limited, though if you come here on the weekday nights like I did, you'll not only find parking, but you'll also be near or at the front of the line. Super friendly customer service. Cash only. COVID regulations have been met. They accept takeout if you call ahead of time. Be prepared to wait longer than usual, as the food takes time to prepare and there are not any seats available. When looking for places on Yelp to eat at, I often go for ones that seem to quickly catch my eye, not necessarily because they are well-known with the people, but because they have not been well-known. We have so many eateries in the South Bay that some may get lost in the sea of fine establishments, and I think the Alum Rock area is notorious for having some hidden gems that mainly the locals know about and no one else. Tacos La Chilanguita VIP is a shining example of a place that makes good food and deserves a bit more attention, in my opinion. I've only been here for their tacos, but there's no doubt in my mind any item you get here will stick out to you favorably.

The tortilla was really thick and doughy however. To me it tasted like a big tortilla and some meat. It also came with the consome in the coffee cup but it was hard to dip considering how big the tortilla shell was. Overall the workers were very nice and considerate and they only accept cash.

I came at a pretty busy time so it wasn't at the tail end or start of service. - pastor tacos never came with any pineapple. - stingy af with the onion and cilantro The 2 redeeming qualities are the handmade tortillas (although 1 of mine was a little burnt) and salsa bar. I wouldn't come again, which sucks because I love a handmade tortilla.

Here for the head…read more I love offal so ojo (eye) tacos? GAME. It ended up being so good that we visited two nights in a row. Tacos El Güero Estilo Tepa has two locations, this one is open Thursday - Sunday, 3:30 pm - 11 pm. Onsite parking lot (gets quickly filled) and there's about eight tables outside the truck. Tacos Al Vapor (steamed tortilla) are $3 each. Proteins: Al pastor (trompo), ojo (eye), lengua (tongue), carnaza (head/neck), asada (beef), cabeza (head), and pollo (chicken). Agua fresca and bottled drinks available. I thought it was cash only but saw other customers paying with a CC (tap to pay). T A C O S * Night #1 - Tacos de Ojo Steaming hot, the double tortillas were was soft and moist yet sturdy. Generous amount of rich, meltingly soft gelatinous chopped beef eye. The fresh sharpness from the onions + cilantro and the acidity of the lime perfectly cut through the richness. BOMB. - Tacos de Cabeza Finely chopped, the cabeza (head) was beefy soft and juicy. The best cabeza I've had. They have three salsas: Roja and verde were on the bland side, while the habanero packed some good heat. * Night #2 - Tacos Al Pastor Shaved from al trompo (spit), then chopped the marinated pork was fine. I like the charred edges but it was kinda dry. Pineapple is by request only. - Tacos de Ojo -Tacos de Cabeza Both the tortillas and proteins weren't as moist as the previous night. S E R V I C E Prompt. Overall, I was hoping to give Tacos El Güero Estilo Tepa five stars but they seem to have some consistency issues. If/when we're rolling through the eastside, I wouldn't hesitate to visit again...in hopes we hit them on a good night like the first!

As for the filling it wasn't like the proteins or the toppings on the nachos were bad or anything (other than the chorizo - either I got a dud or it's just not that great) but it wasn't amazing. The food here tasted homemade - like I went to my friends place and his mom made us food. It wasn't oily or over seasoned (I wasn't bloated or felt salty/oily/gross after) which was great. Every taco also came with a grilled jalepeno (was super spicy!!) and some cut up radishes. Also the hot sauce was fantastic. The lady who took our order was super sweet and nice. The reviews say the quesabirria and horchata here is great so we'll try that next time!!

Birria had been taking the food scene by storm and rightfully so, so it's not surprise that the…read morewifey and I are on a search for the BEST birria (for our palate) in our area. Enter Birria Rojas. Tacos: Good taste and Okay filling amount. Honestly the meat was flavorful and the amount of stuff they put IN the taco was acceptable given the price, however we did wish the tacos were put on the griddle a little longer to crisp them up a little more. I'd say they weren't perfect, but they definitely were worth the $ and tasty. Consume: Wish they gave you some when you order x amount of tacos like other places, but hey, it's understandable. The consume was pretty heavy handed in (I think) cinnamon and cloves (?). Not that it wasn't good, but it just wasn't what I wanted. It complimented the tacos very well so overall it was good but not great. Horchata: Delicious! smooth, cinnamon-y and just overall good. They executed this extremely well. Torta: OMG this thing was BIG. It looked amazing on the pictures on the truck and it looked amazing when we got it, but it looked better than it actually was. I'd say overall, the looks was a 5/5. The taste was a solid 4/5. Still very tasty, but didn't think it fully hit the mark. Service: The only two people in the truck were SUPER nice and very accommodating however there were a couple of issues on their end. 1) My total was $29. I gave the cashier $40. I was handed $9 back. After saying that I was shorted change, awkwardness ensued. It was an honest mistake and they gave me the right amount back so I just shrugged it off. 2) When I picked up my food, I ordered 1 Taco, 1 Torta, and 1 Combo (3x tacos, 1 Consume, and 1 Horchata). The person who gave me the food didn't give me the Horchata or Consume. Again they were VERY accommodating but I think they need to work out the kinks of their ordering. Overall, a good birria taco truck but with some logistical issues. We'd maybe go back but with so many options, we'd like to try others before coming back here.
